Hallwylska Museet - Review

This late 19th century palatial home was built for Count Walther von Hallwyl and his wife, Wilhelmina. The countess was a travelbug and collected a lot of art from the places she visited around the world, all of which she ended up donating to Sweden. The house has been preserved as it was in her time. Every inch of it bursts with artworks, stylish paneling, gild work, carpets, exquisite antique furniture, and lovely chandeliers. Even the kitchen and service quarters have been preserved exactly as they were. There are over 50,000 items of interest here in the 40+ rooms.

An extremely well-kept palace. Free entrance=free visit. You can have an extended guided tour for a small fee-very friendly guides in epoch costumes. Besides, there's a lovely patio café, very relaxing. It's really worth the visit while in Stockholm!!!

If you like looking at collections and crazy rich people houses, this is the place for you! Can't spend much more than 45 mins-1 hour here but it's free, and there's a tonnn of cool collectibles, china, random weapons, art, furniture, etc. to see. I'd say it's worth it to check out!

This is one of the most interesting and eccentric museums in Stockholm. Fascinating backstory and all the guides in the house are fonts of knowledge and are happy to share (I felt like I got a personal in English tour).

I found this museum (free access to most of it) better than Stockholm palace. It is an old preserved home with a lot of interesting collections and art.
In addition to paintings and china you will find collections of old pistols, swords, knives, armor and more.
